MHC, TKS's futures are ruined.
Lutfi is so-so imo. I always thought Tan Wee Gieen was decent, it is unfair to say that it is his fault that MAS couldn't defend WJC. I think he was the only decent MD player in his whole batch. But he did underperform in XD with Chow Mei Kuan though.
I am totally not impressed with Chooi/Ow so far. I thought Ow was great but so far both of them seem to underperform all the time.
Nelson/Teo can give them until the end of this year to show improvement

...A country can have a maximum of three pairs in the world meet if all of them are ranked in the top 24 bracket by the end of April. Malaysia have five pairs in the top 24.

...Two years ago, BAM dropped professionals Teik Chai-Tan Bin Shen, although the duo had qualified on merit, to accommodate their own national players.

This time, BAM coaching and training chairman Ng Chin Chai has made it clear that only those who had qualified on merit would get to go.

...Said Fairuzizuan: “It is good to have this healthy rivalry as it keeps everyone on his toes. Anything can happen at this stage. The pairs ahead of us can slip up in their rankings and we can move up. We are not giving up until the end.”

Look's like Nadzmi's chance of being BWF president is rather slim. He only has the support of 2 other badminton federations (Macau and Korea) as seconders, despite all the talks that he has the support of MANY other federations.

No wonder Harian Metro reported that Datuk Nadzmi has been approached not to stand for the election and give way to INA's Justin so that the Asia votes will not be divided. So actually its cos Nadzmi didnt get many supporters.

Personally, I'll like to see Paul Hoyer be President,at least he has passion for the sports and less of the politics

WORLD No. 1 Lee Chong Wei has urged the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) to take drastic action after the Malaysian team flopped at the just concluded All England Open.

...BAM must review every department to see what really went wrong in Birmingham, and try to rectify it,” said Chong Wei, who arrived home this morning.

“It’s an important year, we got the Sudirman Cup this May, and next year we’ve got the Thomas Cup, Asian and Commonwealth Games. All important team events.“I will also sit with my coaches, to see what was wrong with my game. I hope to bounce back at my next tournament.”

The nine-time Malaysia Open champion added: “It just wasn’t my day when I played Chen Long (China) in the final. He was the better player on that day. It was frustrating for me.“

I have sent this feedback to the editor@sports247.my of the said article.

There is no hope for BAM as it is stricken with cancer. The whole body is cancerous from top down. Nothing can be done unless they change the whole management. They say too many cooks spoils the broth. But the situation is worst than that. None of them are cooks. Those that are cooks are not given power. Hopeless case. First person to go should be Nadzmi.

agreed!!
To change the whole management is to change the whole government, because they are totally related...

KUALA LUMPUR: In the spirit of Asian solidarity, Datuk Nadzmi Mohd Salleh (pic) has withdrawn from standing for the Badminton World Federation (BWF)’s president post.

The 59-year-old Nadzmi, who is the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president, made this announcement yesterday after receiving a surprise visit from his challenger Justian Suhandinata of Indonesia at his residence.

The decision also comes a day after Nadzmi accepted his appointment as the Badminton Asian Confederation (BAC) acting president.

The All-Indonesia Badminton Association (PBSI) president Justian is the other candidate for the BWF’s top post.

He will now be the only Asian in the race to beat his challenger – the Badminton Europe president Poul-Erik Hoyer-Larsen of Denmark at the May 18 election during the Sudirman Cup in Kuala Lumpur.

Nadzmi said that by backing out, the Asian vote would not be split.

“It was a surprise to receive a visit from Justian. He came to congratulate me for my appointment as the BAC’s acting president,” said Nadzmi.

“He also wanted to know my stand about the BWF’s election as he wanted to start his campaigning.

“I had been contemplating about this matter (about the BWF’s election) and after Justian’s visit, I decided to withdraw. It is the best decision.

Nadzmi’s decision was also supported by the fact that running the BAC would be a challenging task.

“The situations is not in order in the BAC and it will require me to do a lot of work. We have to look into the welfare, unity and solidarity among Asian countries. For now, it is best that I focus on this responsibility,” he said.

Nadzmi said that as the BAC’s acting president, he would give his complete support to the 66-year-old Justian’s campaign.

“He is a BWF’s council member and is experienced. In fact, he has done his homework well and is prepared for this election. As the BAC’s acting president, he will get my full support,” said Nadzmi.
